Exit Passes

Exit passes are an opportunity to share some feedback about where they are at by the end of a lesson and what they would like more support with.

'Gots' and 'Needs': Okay so the grammar on this isn't great, but the idea is! Invite students to share what they got out of a lesson and what they still need - this can be done using post it notes and creating two locations in the classroom for what they 'got' and what they 'need'. Students add their post it notes - using their name can be optional - sometimes they appreciate the anonymity, sometimes they want you to know their contribution.

Setting up a Google Quiz: Include two or three key questions that link to the Learning Intention and Success Criteria can give you a good read of what students are understanding, or able to do, and what they need more support with.

Strategies you can apply to a Google Quiz

I used to think... now I think... : Get students to reflect on what they used to think, and what they know after the learning in the lesson.

50 word summary: Get students to summarise what the purpose of the lesson was, and what they learned in 50 words, or less.

2 minute brain dump: Use the learning intention, or a key word in the topic or lesson and get students to write or draw what comes to mind - yes, this can get a bit silly sometimes, but that can be part of the fun, and a nice way to wrap up a serious lesson...
